Magic

Powdered- Liquid- Solid.

This is the bit I love the most about casting concrete. You have poured a liquid into a mould then 24 hours later that liquid has become as hard as rock. It is not until the shuttering has come off that you know what you have got. It is almost like a potter opening her kiln. This is the moment all the planning has gone into. So exciting. The textures realised and unexpected details achieved cannot be accomplished in any other way. So although you are as nervous as hell, and almost don’t want to pull the shuttering off, you can’t stop yourself from ripping it down.
